The Commerce Department has published a correction to the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on steel nails from Malaysia (A-557-816), which were published Feb. 6.

The Commerce Department issued the final results of its antidumping duty new shipper review on carbazole violet pigment 23 from India (A-533-838) covering Sudarshan Chemical Industries Limited.

The International Trade Commission recently began a Section 337 investigation on imports of liquid coolers for electronic components in computers that allegedly infringe on patents held by Cooler Master (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1394), the ITC said in a notice last week. In its February complaint (see 2402200055), Taiwan-based Cooler Master and its U.S. subsidiaries CMI USA and CMC Great USA said SilverStone, Enermax and Apaltek are importing liquid coolers that copy its “novel” and “relatively simple” designs for liquid coolers. It also said they’re infringing on a patent related to ornamental LEDs on the liquid coolers. In the investigation, the ITC will consider whether to issue a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders against SilverStone, Enermax and Apaltek.

The Commerce Department is leaving in place an agreement suspending countervailing duties on sugar from Mexico (C-201-846), it said last week in the final results of an administrative review. Mexican exporters remain in compliance with the suspension agreements, Commerce said.

The Commerce Department is amending its preliminary antidumping duty determination on mattresses from Taiwan (A-583-873), ending retroactive duties on the “all others” companies after finding its critical circumstances finding for those companies was in error. Suspension of liquidation and AD cash deposit requirements will now be in effect for entries on or after March 1, 2024, for the “all others” companies. Commerce’s critical circumstances findings remain unchanged for the individually investigated companies from Thailand -- Fuyue Mattress Industry Co., Ltd.; Star Seeds Co., Ltd.; and Yong Yi Cheng Co., Ltd. – so entries from those companies will remain subject to suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements effective Dec. 2, 2023 (see 2403010055).

The Commerce Department is revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on rubber bands from China (A-570-069/C-570-070), as well as the AD order on rubber bands from Thailand (A-549-835), after no domestic producers sought to participate in five-year sunset reviews conducted by the agency, it said in a notice. Effective for entries from China on or after Feb. 19, 2024, and for entries from Thailand on or after April 26, 2024, Commerce will direct CBP to end suspension of liquidation and collection of AD/CVD cash deposits in connection with the now defunct AD/CVD orders, which had been in place since 2019. Entries before those effective dates will remain subject to suspension of liquidation and AD/CVD cash deposit requirements and assessments, Commerce said.
